Introduction to Abortion - What You Need to Know

Utah Standard News
01/06/2020

Abortion is unlike any other modern social issue debated today and many people are suffering because of it. Millions of American women have aborted a child, and the pain, loss, and emotional need to justify what was done, both on the part of the mother and the part of her loved ones, is strong and deep. Everyone that is touched by an abortion decision is harmed. In addition to the mother and child, fathers, extended family, and abortion clinic employees are also victims of abortion. The more abortion is understood, the more one realizes it is anti-human, anti-life, and anti-woman. The notion that the Pro-Life movement is in the business of "changing hearts and minds" has, regrettably, been reduced to cliche, but it is nevertheless true.

Cutting Through the Partial-Birth Abortion Rhetoric

Aubrey Wursten
06/17/2019

Like most people familiar with the pro-life crusade, I have watched with perpetually rolling eyes as I’ve read the recent debate about late-term abortion. I have watched with frustration as physicians have tap-danced their way to justifying it, and I have squirmed as truly tragic examples have been used to defend overreaching and barbaric laws allowing the procedure. I know the truth, I’m tired of debating, and I want a break.

Pro-Choicers Keep Changing The Subject Away From Abortion

Pro-Life Utah
06/28/2018

A recent editorial in the Salt Lake Tribune claimed that a person cannot be "pro-life" unless he/she is actively working to relieve the plight of children in warn-torn countries, gun violence, the death penalty, and other social problems. Those are valid issues to discuss, but they're a red herring, as pro-choicers continually deflect away from the subject of abortion and whether or not life in the womb has value.

SB118 Abortion Informed Consent Reform

Pro-Life Utah
01/30/2018

UPDATE 3/6/18: SUCCESS! SB118 PASSED its final vote today!! Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! Thank you to Senator Todd Weiler and Representative Kevin Stratton for sponsoring the bill. Thank you to the Senators/Representatives who voted to pass it. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This bill takes the responsibility of the state portion of mandated abortion informed consent information from the abortion provider, and places it in the hands of the state of Utah. This will be accomplished through an online, interactive class that a woman will take at the clinic. This ensures that all women receive complete and accurate information before making an abortion decision. It also creates an environment where abortion providers are no longer asked to state information they may not personally align with.

HB205: Down Syndrome Anti-Discrimination Abortion Act

Pro-Life Utah
01/22/2018

UPDATE (3/9/18): We are heartbroken to announce that HB205, the Down Syndrome Nondiscrimination Abortion Act, did not pass this legislative session. This is a huge loss for our state and our society! The Utah Senate chose to let people die when they chose to hold HB205 hostage and not let it come to a vote on the Senate floor. So many people sacrificed their time, talents and efforts to get HB205 this far. We thank them for their words, prayers, emails, phone calls, texts and all other efforts behind the scenes and in the forefront! Your love, passion, and determination were not in vain! Much good has come and will come from what you've done. You fought for those how cannot protect themselves. You are true heroes! We have great hopes that while HB205 did not pass this year, this is not the end of Down Syndrome anti-discrimination legislation in Utah! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A Down Syndrome diagnosis shouldn’t be a death sentence. Selective abortion, for any reason, is the very definition of eugenics. History warns us that this is a very dangerous road to take. Recent news out of Iceland and Denmark regarding the eradication of Down Syndrome, or rather the eradication of people with Down Syndrome via abortion should give all of us nightmares. Early prenatal testing via a maternal blood draw has opened up the way to let us prepare for these babies, or eradicate an entire subset of our population. Presently, Down Syndrome is the main target of this “compassionate eugenics” movement, but it If we do not stand up against this thinking, it will be just the beginning. After Down Syndrome, what group will come next? Utah needs to draw a defining line in the sand and declare loudly to the world, “We will not go there!”
